The consistency of this vintage during the growing season has, not surprisingly, manifested itself in the overall impression of the finished wine. Lovely cassis, black plum, violets, dried blackberries on the vine, baking spices, chestnut, and just a hint of fresh earth interconnect in the very forward aromas of this unmistakably Rutherford Cabernet. On the palate, the entry is balanced and elegant, polished but with a clear density, a flavor core that adds gravitas and suggests ageability. The finish is of wild plums, black cherry jam, and a hint of warm.

Tons of fruit: red and black cherry, raspberry, and some jam. Easy to drink now but could age longer. Well integrated tannins, long finish, and very complex

Just a baby but really improved on the last glass. Tons of black fruits. Tannins are pronounced but not bitter. Incredible finish for miles.
